Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course gives an introduction to various concepts of condensed matter physics with emphasis on properties of solids.
The following topics are contained in the course: Symmetry and crystallography in 2 and 3 dimensions; crystal structures, thermodynamics and condensed matter phases; structure analysis of crystalline, quasicrystalline and amorphous matter; concept of the reciprocal lattice; point, line and surface imperfections; mechanical properties, crystal bindings, phonons, thermal properties, free electron Fermi gas, energy bands, semiconductor crystals, superconductivity, diamagnetism and paramagnetism, ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, magnetization dynamics, plasmons and polaritons

Assessment and permitted materials

The course will be assessed via a written module examination held in class. No course materials, textbooks or smartphones will be allowed in the exam, but you may need a calculator. The examination will focus on assessing your understanding on the principles and phenomena in condensed matter physics..

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

50% of the total points at the final exam.
50 - 62.49% grade 4
62.5 - 74.99% grade 3
75 - 87.49% grade 2
87.5 - 100% grade 1

Examination topics

The course is to be regarded as one, single and inseparable entity together with the associated exercise class 260121 PUE, which is listed separately for technical reasons only. What we show in class will be worked upon and truly learned by individual and independent work on the homework sets of 260121 PUE, which will be distributed weekly.
For students of the old Master’s Curriculum: The exam contains similar questions as the module exam and a smaller number of calculation examples.
